Lmao.. I know!! What a total bastard Lol, how badly do we suck spending a crap load more and getting smashed by his little weapon I was proud of my time then later on I saw the leader of the 1/4 mile ladder and I laughed my ass off. Didn't feel so quick then did I.

Kudo's to Tim though!

[isaw]

yeah yeah I'll scan it soon enough..

Its a MKV GTI DSG, running 235 kumho ku31's (cheap CHEAP tyres..), power mods are just bluefun stg 1, have also done a antilift kit and it seems to help with the launches. Didn't have much of a issue with tramp which was good. I'm not really planning on any more power mods, I'd really like a set of wheels and to fix the subframe pop... so your time is safe. I might go back and try for that 100mph tho... 99.7 my ass.

[adzy]

My axle tramp is a shocker!!! Looking at fixing that soon and I have the subframe pop as well, some guys fix it with Audi or Passat bolts but in many cases it just comes back, simply just a poor design.

Hey guys, went to a Test and Tune at willowbank race way (QLD). my first time on the strip. quite dissapointed with my times but ill post the up anyways. The launch is so hard, completely underestimated drag racing. Any tips greatly appreciated!

Most people do..

The trick is to not shock the driveline off the mark.

Let the clutch slip slightly as the tree comes down, don't just dump the clutch and floor it off the mark. This loads the drive train. When the light goes green, the trick is to balance the throttle and clutch together off the line to keep the boost up, keep the engine in a good power range and not overpower the track, breaking into wheelspin. Once that's out of the way it's pretty straight forward.

Those times aren't that bad, dude.

The 2.2 60 ft is not bad at all, remember the DSG's are about half a seccond quicker.
